If you love something

set it free,

but don’t be surprised

if it comes back with herpes.

Or something similar. – Oh dear, don’t be ashamed!

A barren twig in winter, the leaves burst out in spring.

Some trees are not content with leaves on twigs, they want new twigs right on the trunk.

A green spring curtain in the middle of the forest.

Fruit trees want more than just green in spring.

These cherry trees were pruned, the fallen twigs looking like lace on the gras.
And that is the whole house from the front with the sandstone set off beautifully by the white paint.

Do you remember Russian nesting dolls? A couple of years back a friend of mine who knew my liking of the Gruffalo children’s books sent me the Gruffalo version of the Matryoska dolls (including a paint brush and paints).
The Fox, the Owl, the Snake, and the Mouse are inside the Gruffalo.
